The gentleman who has this little shop repairs and restores furniture and trades in the sort of old stuff that I have seen referred to as "Junktiques". He is a nice fellow and repaired some dining room chairs for Susan. He has some interesting things. I must admit that I remember when Pepsi-Cola was 5¢ and its selling feature was that it came in a 12 ounce bottle rather than a 6 ounce bottle like Coca-Cola. Do you remember the jingle?
"Pepsi-Cola hits the spot /
Twelve full ounces, that's a lot /
Twice as much for a nickel, too /
Pepsi-Cola is the drink for you."
Tulsa's familiar skyline is put in another context here. We are on the west side and and looking across the Arkansas River at downtown Tulsa through part of the large oil refinery on the immediate west side of the river. This facility works 24/7 cracking the crude oil which is pumped out of the ground from a number active oil wells in the Tulsa area and much more piped in from the surrounding area. Tulsa is still an oil town.
